Thanks Michael - mine are the older magnetic ones with 95mm step up rings but I have had to resort to screw in UV filters with the Kase filters in front but thanks for the reply - always interesting to watch your videos!
The new Kase “R-MCUV” filter has a coating that eliminates ghost refections as well as glare and flare. Do you think the image quality of this filter would be the same as the regular MCUV filter?
I didn't notice differences to the MCVU version II. I don't think they really reduce ghosting vs shooting without a filter. But they don't introduce any additional artifact - a problem of cheap filters.
I can clearly see on right that images has more natural colors, clean details and images are more natural warm color tone where with filter It looks like through haze, less clear clarity, more blueish tone ...
I know the quality of the filter coating is the most important criteria for a not influcening filter. But if I saw how strom the ghosting on some high quality objectivs can be I was shocked. e.g. the Canon RF 28-70mm F2.8 . I had my camera on a tripod. In my foto were about 10 light sources. Each light produced its own ghosting through the middle of the foto. I dismounted the UV-filter without a significant improvement. I am really shure that an additional filter will add an ghosting circle. And be carefull: The price is not always a quality criteria.
Kann sein, hoffe aber du siehst bei meinem Test von kase, das es möglich ist Filter zu machen die die Bildqualität nicht beeinflussen. Wenn das nicht so wäre würde ich die Filter auch nicht vor die Linse pappen ;-)
I only use them when I'm in the mountains(Alps) personally , I find that it benefits the image quality . Maybe it's because of the higher amounts of uv light ?
Hi I have Kase magnetic filters as well but if I put any magnetic filter on the lens the magnetic lens cap struggles to stay on. Do you take the UV filter off each time you put in in your bag. It would be interesting to hear. Thanks
Hi Kase has UV filters that are magnetic themselves, so you should be able to put other magnet filters in front and also the lens cap. My setup is a bit different though: I need a step-up adapter for my magnetic filters, because I use 95mm to avoid vignetting on the 15-35 lens. It means that I always screw on the step-up ring at the beginning of a photo shoot and plug the magnetic filters in there. I leave the screw-in magnetic UV filter on the 100-500 lens though. As to the magnetic lens cap: If I put it in front of my magnentic filters (Kase KW Revolution) it is rock solid. Do you use the Revolution filters or the older magnetic filters? I think Kase have improved the magnetic characteristics in the Revolution version.
Ok, this is not from what I try to protect my lens. To be honest, if that happens, I'd be screwed ;-) But there's still the elements I don't want on the front element - salt water at the coast, sand in the desert. This can be annoying to deal with and a filter can be cleaned much easier. And if I scratch it in the process, it's also not the end of the world.
@@mibreit-photo OK, Perry says he occasionally uses them for that reason as well. Previous primary reasons folks gave, to the point of it becoming almost "gospel," was to protect your lens from physical damage.

Interesting. I don't see a difference at all. Maybe I have to check my glasses ;-)

Did you use kase? I tested exactly this in the Video - no detail loss, no ghosting
Nein. K&F B&W habe ich genutzt. Beides sind sehr renomierte Firmen.

PS: genau das ghosting spreche ich ja an, hatte ich mit anderen filtern in der Vergangenheit auch;-)
I’ve been shooting for nearly 60 years and never have I broke or scratched a front lens element. Personally would never use UV
Well, I have scratched filters in the past that I thankfully had in front of the lens ;-) But you are right, not everybody needs an UV filter
@@mibreit-photo yea I have broke filters in front of glass too but not front element. Guess I’ve been lucky

You know who recommends UV/protection filters?
The people who sell them, including this person.
Whos this Person? I dont sell em
I don't use UV filters anymore, after watching this from Steve Perry eight years ago: czcams.com/video/P0CLPTd6Bds/video.html
